I recently purchased a 64GB Samsung evo sdxc card to use with my Galaxy s4 zoom as an upgrade from my 32GB sd card i had been using. I put all my files onto my laptop and proceed to copy the entire folder to the sd card (24GB or so) everything went fine and I put the sd card into the phone and it seemed as if there was nothing on the card music pictures etc. I put the card back into my computer to find that the folders that i copied were still there but the contents of the folders were no longer there. trying this a few more times I copied the files again after formatting the SD card , but instead of putting it in the phone i just removed it from the laptop and put it back in . I received the same results each time i did this. i even tried to format it to Fat 32 to see if that would fix it and still just as before the same result. I have used many sd cards and have never had this problem before, this is the first time ive owned an sdxc card but it should be compatible with my s4 zoom, so the results i am getting have baffled me. any help with my situation would be very appreciated.

Hey guys, i have owned my SGS i9300 for about a month and recently bought the 64GB MicroSDXC card, it was all great until I threw on all my music onto it, now when I throw in the same folders into itunes, it gives me 1400 songs, but when I put the same folders onto the memory card, I only get 13xx songs, now I know it's not a big deal, but it's still frustrating. Now i located one of the songs and copied it to the phone's memory, and it worked ... so i really don't know what to do :|
It's to do with the exfat system that the card is formatted with. If you can reformat the card as fat32 (preferably in another android device) and copy your files back it should work. Currently in the process of doing it myself.

I got the galaxy s3 a couple weeks ago, and when I got it I just put my old sd card in it and it worked fine. I could transfer files to and from it fine, when I hooked the phone up to a computer I could easily copy and paste files to the sd card that was mounted to phone. The sd card I used was an 8 gig Samsung, I recently upgraded to a 32 gig PNY sd card and have had nothing but problems with it. For the first week it would always say sd card was unmounted or unreadable and gave me an error, then mounted and worked. Finally got that fixed, but it would never work for file transfer from my computer, I have to physically take the sd card out of the phone and plug it directly into my computer to actually get files to transfer onto it. But transferring files onto my phones memory works fine, just the sd card has issues. Even when transferring from my phones storage to the sd it hasn't worked in my experience, any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to root or anything because I know the phone works fine, I think PNY just sucks I haven't had the greatest experience with any of their products.
Okay so the card is doing the error message with the phone again so I guess I need to fix that first, Help?
Alright, I have a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.7 and a Galaxy S4 with a new microSD card. I was able to initially insert the microSD card into the adapter, slide it into my Macbook Pro and transfer all of my desired music files. Put the card in my phone and it located the files no problem. Well I went today to add new files using both AFT and the SD card adapter but not files are able to be transferred to the card. AFT has no problem storing files on the internal memory so I'm guessing it's a problem with my SD card. Any ideas on what to do?
I've Googled a bit and was told to format my SD card and that should make it recognizable by my Macbook Pro again, but if I were to do this would this problem arise again once I insert the card back into my S4?
Hi guys I'm having problems with my s4. If I transfer data from phone memory to the memory card it sometimes becomes corrupted or lasts a moment on the card the minute I reset the phone rrandom files are deleted or have there file names changed to different symbols a few weeks ago my 32gb SanDisk card just died completely unusable in any device or card reader if I use the card as a source for my camera it stores the photos but once again only till the card is unmounted or the phone reset. If I transfer from my laptop it is fine and remains on the card I have done a full system reset. Still no luck. I'm now running kit kat and have a 64 go Samsung memory card any help is really appreciated
I think it's a sdcard problem. Could you try another (if possible brand new) sdcard?
Hello,
So my sd card (16gb) appears to have stop working and the phone gives me the message “SD Card is blank or has unsupported filesystem.” This started yesterday after I changed default storage for my camera to sd card. Before that it was working just fine.
I restarted the phone, no luck with that. Turn off phone and remove and cleaned sd card, still no luck. I plugged in my phone to the computer to access the sd card, but did not show up, I guess its cause the card is not mounted? So then I thought I’ll just plug in the sd card to my computer and back up everything and then format to correct, but no that didn’t work… when I plugged it in my computer, my computer did not even recognize my card.
At first I thought maybe my adapter is broken, so I plugged in a spare sd card (1gb) I had lying around and that on worked just fine. So I googled what could be wrong and read that it could be that the adapter does not support HCSD cards. So then I plugged in my sd card into a USB sd card reader (which had a slot for micro sd which I used), but same thing – did not recognize 16gb card, but it did for 1gb card. I checked to see if it’s a driver issue, but it was up to date. Then I doubted the USB card reader didn’t support HCSD like the adapter, so I went out and bought a new USB card reader (one that works with HCSD cards) from bestbuy (Insignia SD/MMC Memory Card Reader). Still did not recognize card with new reader on computer.
I googled to see what my options were, but the solutions that I found all had the computer recognize the card – which mine isn’t doing… but I still tried a few things I read like chkdsk in command prompt, but I got “Cannot open volume for direct access” error.
Even though my computer does not recognize the card, my phone does recognize it but corrupt and offers to format. I also tried it on different phones (Galaxy S2 T989, and Blackberry Bold 9650) to see if it can read it, but same thing it recognizes it but corrupt and unreadable.
I’m still looking around for solutions, but if anyone can help me with this, please do. Please let me know if you need more info.
Info on devices/cards:

Sounds like the SD is toast. It's not easy to extract corrupted data from a micro sd card
